The box inquired for contained, amongst other things, silver spoons, books and many pairs of "pantaloons breeches and trousers."

"There's your work, take it, run the city, hire your help, keep things clean, keep things healthy, be progressive, and we will watch and check resules." Such is the aftitude of the five unpaid directors. The eivie director will virtually be a city man- ager, probably the first of its kind, a paid autoerat, under a democratic con- trol. The expert is not hired for. any length of time. Lockport, N.Y., wants results.

An official daciment told the story, When Met Brodeur was at the imper- ial conferdece he consulted the admir- alty. He returned to Oftawa in the latter part of July abd reported to the government.
